Gilberto Esparza

Born in 1975 in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico.

His work involves the use of electronic media and robotics in order to question the impact of technology embedded in everyday life. His work is an inquiry upon the effects of technology on social relations and economic phenomena as well as their impact on the environment and the urban structure.

His recent work is linked to an ongoing research process into alternative types of energy. His practice employs the recycling of consumer technology and a path that treads between the analog and digital.
